I think it's reasonable policy. We'll list up manpages which is
modified and does not include $Id$s (not in src/contrib).

If we can use $FreeBSD$ ids, it will help us to managing FreeBSD
repository and local (or other OS's or development project's which is
not yet imported) repository.
Is this change (from $Id$ to $FreeBSD$) planned near future? If this
changes are scheduled, we'll wait to add $Id$s until that. But if this
is planned but not scheduled, I think to add $Id$s now is not bad idea.

Sorry for my poor English understanding. An example above is seemed
to satisfy that $Id$ is following vendor ids and using the same
indentation. What should we do about this?
# [TAB] or [SPACE] problem?
